Ducks in Bullrushes by Antique is a coloured bronze sculpture. Standing 89 cm high, 123 cm wide, and 105 cm deep. The piece depicts a lively scene of two ducks interacting with their natural environment. One duck prances upward, supported by a clump of bulrushes, while the other remains closer to the ground, wings spread, appearing alert and curious.

The sculpture captures the playful energy of the pair, balancing motion and observation. The detailed bronze work emphasizes the ducks’ feathers, posture, and movement, giving each figure character and vitality. The bulrushes beneath them provide structure while enhancing the sense of natural habitat.

Both ducks are mounted on a deep turquoise stand, evoking the look of water. A red ridge encircles the base near the bottom, adding a striking contrast and framing the scene. The base also incorporates a small turtle and frog, each on their own miniature stand, adding further life and narrative to the composition.

The combination of colour, detail, and layered elements creates a rich, dynamic scene. The turquoise and red of the base enhance the bronze tones of the ducks, while the additional creatures add whimsy and depth.

Ducks in Bulrushes transforms bronze into a lively tableau, capturing the energy and charm of a natural moment. Its vibrant forms, playful interaction, and carefully considered base make it visually engaging and narratively rich, inviting viewers to explore every element of the scene.
